Chapter 531 Spend a Night Together
"So, we should at least sleep together. What's the point of sleeping separately? Do you think you're the flower protector?" Xia Tian shrugged, looking fearless.
Si Ye stood there awkwardly, having the illusion of gender swapping.
Normally, he should be the one taking the initiative as a male, rather than being invited like this...
Besides, it wasn't their "first time" sleeping together, but moments like this always felt... a little strange?
"Okay, let's lie down together. We have to continue our journey tomorrow. Do you think sleeping on a tree is more comfortable than lying down?" Saying more would seem pretentious. Xia Tian didn't say anything more and turned around and went into the shelter.
After lying down for a while, I heard a rustling noise outside.
A sturdy figure with a fresh aura approached.
Because the space in the shelter is indeed limited, it is a bit crowded with a petite girl like Xia Tian, not to mention an adult male like Si Ye who is 1.9 meters tall.
After adjusting their positions, both of them lay down and tacitly did not speak, just breathing quietly.
The shelter is in the shape of a small triangular tent, covered with large leaves similar to banana leaves, so you can see the stars in the night sky outside through the gaps.
I have to say that the environment in this era is really good. On such a clear and breezy night, the stars in the sky are dotted like neon lights.
Being in nature, you can hear the scent of soil and flowers brought by the breeze, accompanied by the white noise of cicadas and flowing water. Everything is so peaceful and quiet.
Xia Tian and Si Ye lay side by side, listening to each other's heartbeat and breathing.
"Aye, do you think there really is another self in this world? Or do you believe in the existence of the soul?"
For some reason, Xia Tian felt that in this environment, it would be a waste of such a good atmosphere if she didn't discuss such important life events.
"Soul? I don't know, and I don't care about it." Si Ye answered casually.
Perhaps it was because he was lying down, or perhaps it was because he was tired from traveling all day, but at this moment, his voice sounded a little hoarse.
"In this world, not everything you believe in has meaning. I'm not sure what you mean by soul, but it should be something very... ethereal, right? I just want to live a good, realistic life. That's enough."
What he didn't say was that even living a good real life had been extremely difficult for him in the past ten years.
"The soul is... your consciousness, your thoughts, your feelings... In other words, it's the invisible and intangible parts of you besides your body."
Xia Tian tried to explain the meaning of this word.
But unfortunately, she herself was a staunch atheist before, so she didn't know much about this.
"Actually, before... before I came here, I had the same idea as you. But after what happened, I feel that this world might not be that simple."
Xia Tian adjusted her posture, resting her elbows behind her head and said, "Whether there are souls in this world or not, what I encountered, or what I experienced, is like this."
